    Wahl with all the accessories. My beard is tight and trimmed.

      For my nostrils I use this little gadget that goes right up into my nose and removes the unsightly nose hair. It cleans up quite well, too. You can just run it under the faucet.
      It's the Fusion, and it's what I use. Very solid razor.

        If you're shaving with a blade, you should always try and shave after you shower, before you dry your face.
        I wasn't endorsing the video. Just a joke. There are a zillion videos out there on how to shave. It's kind of funny.

          Sure, LA, we all know how you shave. You've like walking out of the bathroom w/ a 5.00 shadow ever since you could grow enough to have one.

            Gillette Fusion Mach 3 (not the one with the battery) - shave in the shower with Gillette Fusion gel. My wife and daughter use my razor, too. But I still don't change out the blades more often than every three weeks.

            I don't care if my face is smooth as a baby's butt. My face isn't a baby's butt.

                I'm guessing your wife is changing them out for you.

                  Gillette Mach 3 (old school) with new Gillette non-scented, non-dyed shaving cream. I used to use Aveeno since it didn't have scents/dyes, but switched to the new Gillette for 1/3 the price.

                  I shave straight out of the shower, then put hot water on my face a few times, otherwise, my neck gets wicked bad razor burn.

                    When I was getting a straight razor shave in Costa Rica, my grandfather (he's 87) told me that his father, my great-grandfather, never shaved his own face. He was vice president of Kroger, and apparently, he'd go get a straight razor shave every morning before work.

                      I use the Gillette Venus in the shower to take care of the dome and face at the same time. Those 5 blades get the job done faster than any mens' razor I have used.

                          Is it in Salt Lake Co? I'll support his shop as well if it is.

                            Gidget just gave me a Braun 7 Series yesterday for Father's Day. I don't shave much. I predict that this Braun may be the last razor I ever own. I am still not quite sure why she bought me this as I only need to shave once a week. But it was really nice of her.

                            I usually use the Fusion in the shower with some C.O. Bigelow shaving cream from Bath and Body. I have super sensitive skin and this stuff has helped with a good, close, non-irritating shave.

                                I used to go to the Barber Shop on 15th S. State. They shaved with a straight razor, among other barbering services:

                                "Haircuts, Hot Shaves, Steam Towels, Scalp Treatments, Hangover Treatments, Head and Sholder [sic] Massage"

                                I've never had the Hangover Treatment but the steam towels and head and shoulder massages are awesome. The guy that did the hot shaves has now moved to Gene Mondragon's Barber Shop on 9th South.
